For its part, Hezbollah said in a series of statements that it had targeted gatherings of Israeli forces in Debel, a predominantly Christian border town with some remaining residents despite the war.

The group said it struck a Merkava tank "with an attack drone" in Debel.

And it said that "after monitoring an Israeli enemy force positioned in a house in Debel, its fighters targeted it with an attack drone".
